4 yrs jail for attackers... support anti violence campaign

january SG

those attackers may have feel proud and cool after they beat the person to death and probably make the girls feel happy for helping them...

all these proudness and happiness use to exchange for 4 yrs of pole dancing in jail is what people get when they think that fighting and violence is cool and man..

indians and malays… wat can i say.

Strange that they didn't get convicted of manslaughter. They can't get done for murder as there was no intention to do GBH, but as they did cause GBH, and a death resulted, it goes to becoming murder.

I'm not sure about the Singapore Penal Code, but from what I understand, provocation is a full defence against assault based offences and a partial defence against homicide based offences.

Kind of strange how this one went.

Wah kaoz…. can we keep race out of this?

Spartans SG

I think there are no Indian involved in this fatal incident. Instead, one of the attackers still at run is a Chinese.

But I believe the punishment meted out to the attackers are too light. A live is lost here. 4 years imprisonment is too light to deter others bar frequenters from creating any trouble at the slight provocation, especially under the influence of alcohol.

Othello_Red SG

Yeah, I agree.

I don't think this assault was racially motivated, else the DPP would have gone for the additional element of circumstances of aggravation.

Singapore is pretty strict on that, if they were convicted with the aggravated element, they'd be facing a lot more than just 4 years.

You should probably rephrase this to "those guys should have death sentence, this should set an example to all the people in singapore"

Their race had nothing to do with their stupidity, and it certainly does not reflect on the actions of the/any race in general.

dumbdumb! SG

i thought you felt that saying sorry was wimpy? Very Happy

haha, i like that phrase.. 4 years of pole dancing. hahaha! Laughing

Kyndred SG

Wat can you say? Shocked
